The identification of patient plays a key role in the quality and safety of radiotherapy. It does impact on all professional staff and on patients. After the regulatory authority approval (Cnil), a pilot study has been performed on 1901 patients. Acceptance has been very high (>93%) with a low risk of misidentification (<0.1%). The next step will be to implement and test a bimodal system in order to improve registration capacity and sensitivity.
